Has anyone ever seen the Glock SAF T Block for other 9mm pistols? I was looking for it for my M&P 9 FS

I had a similar product for another pistol. I didnt like it. It required a foreign skill to clear the block from behind the trigger guard, and it required approaching the trigger with my finger to do something other than prep or press the trigger. That's the opposite of safety.

Better to simply employ proper handling and avoid the need.

I have a friend that tried one on his G26. He never achieved any resemblance to a smooth draw and fire. He was, as sns3guppy mentioned, always occupied with pushing the little block out and then getting his finger back to the front of the trigger.

I think that you are probably correct. I made a makeshift block out of Styrofoam and tried it on my M and P9. It feels very unnatural to reach behind the trigger and push it out and then push my finger in front of the trigger. A thumb safety feels much more natural.

At a recent gun show someone I know showed me his Glock where he had a little button in the middle on the side of the trigger. The button had to be pressed in to disengage the safety. It was obviously an aftermarket part but I had never seen one like that. He stated he got it on Amazon I think. I would be a little leery of the reliability of using such a device on a self-defense gun but it certainly looked interesting.

Nevertheless I imagine I just need to practice good trigger finger discipline. I do have an old thumb safety I can always have a gunsmith install but I tend not to like them. Anyway happy shooting.

The trigger button Glock safety gizmo is called a Siderlock.

SAF T Block. Similar device that Kahr uses as its 'gun lock', no?

Sold by Lone Wolf Distributors, if memory serves. Jabbing at the trigger during the draw, before you're on target and ready to shoot. Yeah, that's the ticket.
